I really like the style and atmosphere of Lou Reed's "The Bells" (the song, not the album). What are some other albums, songs, or bands that sound like that?

check out the nas album illmatic or cormega's the realness, especially 'the saga' on the latter. i think that's kind of what you're looking for.

one year passes...

Is it just me or was Ghostface Killah getting his Lou Reed on on Pretty Toney?
Why is The Bells speaking to me right now?

Try that Lou Reed solo boxset, with live tracks feat. Don Cherry etc. Also, Bowie's THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD has some with the drama of "Bells."
